Music4MentalHealth: Innovation Team
About organisation / project
The Union of Kingston Students offers a wide range of volunteering opportunities that aim to enhance both our students' and staff's skills and university experience, as well as the lives and areas of the communities in which they volunteer. Our programmes span a variety of sectors on both a national and international level, all of which aim to be both ethical as well as sustainable. We are passionate about inspiring our university and union body to become ambassadors of positive social action, both during their time at Kingston and beyond.
All of opportunities are eligble for travel expenses (within a certain travel limit (see volunteering policies) e.g. international volunteering is not covered).
